Using the NEC ESMPRO Agent
The NEC ESMPRO Agent software tracks and manages the status of server components and
resources at specified intervals. If an error or abnormality occurs, the NEC ESMPRO Agent notifies
the NEC ESMPRO Manager of the failure. When the NEC ESMPRO Manager requests
administrative data, the NEC ESMPRO Agent immediately transmits the information, allowing the
NEC ESMPRO Manager to monitor the real-time server status. Some NEC ESMPRO Agent
operation parameters can also be set or changed from the NEC ESMPRO Manager.
The NEC ESMPRO Agent records server failures in various logs that are useful for troubleshooting
and determining an appropriate means of recovery.
You can assign threshold values to some monitored components. The NEC ESMPRO Agent
periodically analyzes the component information according to the threshold values. This helps
prevent server damage by fatal errors.
Not all NEC ESMPRO Agent functions are available on all system models.
